Everythnig exept the proc (100mhz OC) has been brought down to stock settings (including removing my second 9800) to bring my system closer to what normal game play will be like for the majority of system setups.

Fist boot screen ill be keeping you updated through out the night

install screen

installation complete install took ~10min

activation window this checks to make sure you are using it at time of release its also making sure that even if you do get the game if your not in north america it will not pass activation it also runs off securrom like the rest of the game

Crysis warhead brings some new things to the table these next settings were taken at 1440x900 extremist settings. One thing alot of people including myself might be disappointed by is no x64 bit the binary is strictly x32. the kinda good thing about warhead is though the map being laoded is pretty hardcore in graphics and detail at most only takes 40sec to load and ram is left free. using ~1GB or less on avg unlike crysis 1.1gb+ though im likeing warhead so far i have a few complaints already. First off unlike alot of crysis ammo is scarce you start the game were psycho left you the first time after the frozen ship. the detail of the game is nice. however its almost like the particles beams and shadows were over done it does infact look very grainy when moving. upping the AA will take away some of the strange grain however performance will plummit expecially in extremest mode were your avg FPS is inbetween 5-25 were when you start its 10-15 constantly not quite enough to be a slide show but slow enough to notie for a game that ws supposed to be optimized. the quad stays loaded at around 50-60% constantly with slight jumps from time to time. here are some screen shots please go by the consol and not fraps.

Extremest Mode​

The menu system is a diff color

dispite the FPS drop in enthusiest mode some high tense action still manages fairly dectn (22FPS)

alot detail wise has changed suite color has improved and is more vivid detail on the suite apposed to the previous crysis as also dramatically improved (for example when looking down at the arm or leg) bump mapping seems to have been turned up slightely allowing road and dirt to look more textured. more will be updated soon thank you.

Gamer Mode​

Gamers mode unlike Extremest brings a whole lot to the table. their is no noticeable detail numb down however the FPS skyrocket. i was pulling 35-~70 on high settings no AA and it ran amazing and looked just as good as before.

these vids are not ment to ooo or aaaa but instead to show you game play and graphical detail all of these videos were taken in high mode using the system specs posten in the OP. they are 30sec long because i am using fraps xfire does not yet support warhead though when it does these will be updated. not all are boring please watch them all. enjoy
